Ryne Sandberg and five Lehigh Valley IronPigs called up to Philadelphia Phillies

Outfielders Brandon Moss and Domonic Brown, relievers Joe Savery and Justin De Fratus and catcher Erik Kratz were all promoted to the Philadelphia Phillies following the end of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs' season tonight.

The Pigs lost to Columbus 4-1 in Game 4 of the Governors' Cup championship series as the Clippers, who won the best-of-five series 3-1, won their second-consecutive title.

Lehigh Valley manager Ryne Sandberg will join the Phillies coaching staff for the postseason, as well.

Savery, who was 1-12 with a 4.66 ERA with the Pigs last season, wasn't sure why he was being called into Sandberg's office after tonight's game.

"I couldn't imagine what else it would be, but I was
trying to find something because I knew it wasn't going to be that," Savery said. "My mind was
racing."

It is the first call-up to the majors for Savery and De Fratus. Moss had been up with the Red Sox, while Kratz was promoted to Pittsburgh last season.
